I wondered if there was more going on than just a swelling. Why would mom feed baby 16 ounces of anything all at once, in spite of loosing so much of it? Could she just be over-full? Could she be sensitive to the formula, and need a different one? Would mom pump (relactate)? We had a group mom donate pumped milk to a friend for awhile---strictly their own arrangement. She may have to rely on liquid feeds for awhile if they cannot coordinate the spoon--the baby is still so young to have to work so hard to eat! Just wondering...could the baby manage a straw? There are lots of convenient toddler cups around that use straws. My daughter started a cup about 6 months of age (but nursed for many moons). Please let us know what happens. Why exactly did mom wean from the breast? Was baby unable to maintain latch with ineven lip edge?
